It is also significant for health and medicine because Holliday, a local physician, practiced in a first-floor office in the home, reflecting antebellum medical practice and education.","narrative":"Dr. John Stiles Holliday built a two-story Plantation Plain-type house on a Fayetteville town lot in 1847, then around 1855 more than doubled its size and remodeled it in the Greek Revival style. The weatherboard house has a full-width porch with six Doric columns, plain corner pilasters, wide eaves with brackets, and a central-hall Georgian floor plan. Later changes include 1940 bathrooms, closets, and a 1970 enclosure of the rear porch, but the 1855 plan and many features remain. Holliday practiced medicine in the northeast room on the first floor, as most Georgia physicians of the period did at home, while also running mills, stores and a farm. His career illustrates changes in medical education and the mixed occupations of antebellum doctors. The property is recognized for its architecture and for this medical history. Most outbuildings and town lots are gone, and the house now operates as a museum.","period_of_significance":"1847-1865","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century: Greek Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Currently operated as a museum with exhibits on the house, Fayetteville, \"Doc\" Holliday, Gone With the Wind and southern memorabilia; the historic landscape and outbuildings are largely gone.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:42.615406-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/08000263.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000263/fc858ae889-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000263/fc858ae889-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Cdrcody","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holiday-Dorsey-Fife_House,_Fayetteville,_GA.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Cdrcody</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holiday-Dorsey-Fife_House,_Fayetteville,_GA.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207971","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holliday-Dorsey-Fife_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q29093983"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/fayette-county/holliday-dorsey-fife-house-08000263/"}
